What is the difference between the Long Range and Plaid versions of the 2022 Model S?
The 2022 Tesla Model S Long Range AWD uses two motors for approximately 670 hp combined and an EPA range of 634 km — the longest range of any electric sedan on the Canadian market in 2022. The Plaid adds a third motor for 1,020 hp total, achieving 0-100 km/h in 2.1 seconds and a quarter mile in 9.23 seconds — supercar territory. The Plaid's range is slightly lower at 560 km due to higher energy consumption. In terms of price, the Plaid sells for approximately $25,000 more than the Long Range. For most Canadian buyers, the Long Range offers the best balance of performance, range, and value.
